PRODUCT USE
This type of insulation was used on the exterior of the boiler as well as on the inside walls of its pipes. As asbestos had all the qualities of a good and inexpensive insulator, its fibers were added into the product’s content.
The danger of asbestos containing boiler coating came mainly from its exposure to constant heat. This would have made the material highly friable, a state in which the asbestos fibers could have been released into the atmosphere with minimal disturbance. You could have been exposed if:
- You interacted with asbestos-containing boiler coating
- You installed boilers before the 1980s
- You assured maintenance for boiler systems
- You found yourself on a constant basis around boilers
